"To be candid, this hotel was not our first choice for our 3-day stay in Takayama. However, the other hotel didn't have availability for us and the Tokyu Stay did.
That really turned out to be fortuitous. As first time travelers in Japan, when we got off the train in Takayama, we were overjoyed by the proximity of the hotel; a short 2-minute walk.
Our room was very comfortable and roomy enough for us. (My wife and I are not big people.) We did not use the in-room laundry. However, another couple who we were traveling with did, and they found it difficult to figure out how to use the laundry. And they also felt that the dryer function did not work well.
This is a tourist hotel. During our stay, there was a group of Australians staying there. It was fun chatting with them at breakfast. The breakfast had a nice selection of western breakfast food and Japanese items. I might have preferred to have more variety in the Japanese items, but the quality was good and the food was tasty.
The afternoon happy hour is a nice feature, but we only participated once, on the day we arrived. My wife used the onsen. But the feature she enjoyed even more was the footbath, which she used every day after our hikes."
